Effect of circDHTKD1 knockdown on cell inflammation response. (A) RT-qPCR analysis of circDHTKD1 following transfection of BEAS-2B cells with si-NC, si-circ#1 or si-circ#2 for 48 h. BEAS-2B cells were transfected with si-NC or si-circ#1 followed by treatment with 5 µg/ml lipopolysaccharide. mRNA expression of (B) IL-6, (C) IL-8, (D) TNF-α and (E) VEGF was measured by RT-qPCR. (F) ELISA was used to measure concentrations of IL-6 and VEGF. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. si-NC, small interfering RNA negative control; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; DHTKD1, dehydrogenase E1; circ, circular.
